I have difficulty understanding why one should not expect discussions about screen color calibration in a Forum that is dealing with printing? It is normal that one wants to have a photo coming out of the printer that reproduces what one decided to print as seen on the computer screen. If the...

I looked through this forum for threads regarding screen calibration, but did not find anything that I could use. My question is: does it make sense to invest in a hardware calibration device to calibrate my iMac screen (resolution 2560 x 1440, 32 bit)? If so what make would you recommend for my...

Joe, you are most welcome to carry your chip resetter to Belgium.I will pick you up at the airport!

I already wrote earlier that the resetter I purchased resets all chips but the LK, LLK en LM cartridges.I expect to receive soon a replacement resetter and hope that the resetting of LK, LLK and LM will then be possible. If not, I stop investing in resetters and then plan to kindly request the...

Joe: With my mail to you of Aug 14 I did show you a resetter that I planned buying. You then responded with: "Yes. That's the one. I can not guarantee that it will work 100% as mine does. The only way is to try." That is what I did: I purchased this resetter and could reset 6 carts, but not the...

Does it make sense to replace chips for the Epson 3800, that can not be reset, by new chips? Perhaps such new chip can be reset? Such chips are being offered at a price of $3,5 each by Balson Technology Co.(www.toner-chip.com/) Sales guy is Fred at Fred <balson5@toner-chip.com> ‎

Sherden: Thank you for the extensive info. I regret that my software knowledge does not suffice for e.g. checking to see whether there are any Autoupdate options in the software etc. I will just keep away from updating Epson software for my 3800.

Sherden: your question: "What do you mean exactly with "unwanted software modification"? Simply, a modification by e.g. Epson, in the software of my 3800 printer, without asking my permission.

I would like to know whether there is a way to protect the 3800 against unwanted software modifications? If Epson wants to adjust isoftware in my 3800 then I do not like this to happen with my acceptance.

I purchased the new brass QU-piece by Octopus for filling cartridges. It was announced as specially made for HP 932 and 950. I just liked to see whether it could be of any use for filling the OEM cartridges for EPSON Pro 3800 or the refill cartridges. It is a solid re-fill piece but can not...

The Hat: You are writing: "None of the information you have received so far can be found in any printer manual anywhere so maybe now you might realise that you don’t really need these manuals after all" I think that this is logical, one can not expect that Epson will inform us in their User...

I ordered the QU-FILL Profi and will let you know what my observations are.

Joe, thanks you for the above very clear explanation. My question: do you think I could use the QU-Fill™ PROFI from Octopus for filling modified (applying your technique) EPSON OEM cartridges for the 3800?

Hello 3Dogs: Nice to read that you got an excellent chip resetter. However the information about where to order is for me impossible to understand: "The new resetter offered by 1214453# ^, is FANTASTIC, I just reset 9 of my 3880 carts dated ""/$&/€×¥4 AND a FULL set dated @"/$!/€×¥4. I bought...

The Hat Thank you for your advise. Esp. constructing a refiller from a needle could be a good idea! Pharmasist wrote: I have a feeling that last device from Octopus-supplies might be the key to refill Epson one-way-valve cartridges * Can you please let me have the www-address where I can find...

Good evening Nelson, I am afraid that you are right! But perhaps somebody has experience with this matter and can come up with a solution?

Joe: the rubber tip that you use tightly closes off the complete opening around the exit nozzle and enables using pressure to push ink in the Mylar bag. Most likely it is also this pressure which pushes open the plunger? The rubber tip can in my view not push open the plunger. Summarizing...

I purchased a chip resetter for the Epson 3800. When I apply the resetter, a blinking red light comes on indicating that the chip contacts and the pins on the resetter meet. Thereafter the red light turns to green. After the green light turns off, I disconnect. When I put the cartridge back in...

Thank you all for your suggestions! My question remains whether the filling can be done by letting ink flow out of the syringe and flow into the Mylar bag without any pressure?

Is the rubber tip on the syringe, key in filling a Epson OEM 3800 cart? I have studied with great interest the excellent videos regarding refilling OEM 3800 carts which Joe Rodriguez (jtoolman) did present on this Forum. The interesting technique Joe developed doesn't look complicated, until...
